야고보서 3장 4 ~ 6절

야고보서 3장 4 ~ 6절

또 배를 보라 그렇게 크고 광풍에 밀려가는 것들을 지극히 작은 키로 사공의 뜻대로 운전하나니

이와 같이 혀도 작은 지체로되 큰 것을 자랑하도다 보라 어떻게 작은 불이 어떻게 많은 나무를 태우는가

혀는 곧 불이요 불의의 세계라 혀는 우리 지체중에서 온 몸을 더럽히고 생의 바퀴를 불사르나니 그 사르는 것이 지옥 불에서 나느니라

JAMES 3 : 4 ~ 6

NIV:
Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.


Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire, by a small spark.

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.


CEV:
It takes strong winds to move a large sailing ship, but the captain uses only a small rudder to make it go in any direction.

Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things.
It takes only a spark to start a forest fire!

The tongue is like a spark. It is an evil power that dirties the rest of the body and sets a person's entire life on fire with flames that come from hell itself.
